Microliposculpture for submental fullness (double chin)

Submental liposuction is one of my favorite surgical techniques for addressing a double chin, or excess fat tissue under the chin. In a 20 minute procedure performed under local anesthesia alone, your profile can be completely revamped, and your face can be made to look significantly thinner and younger.

Submental liposuction is a midpoint between Kybella (the fat melting injection deoxycholic acid) and a full surgical necklift. It is an excellent option for those desiring an improved neck with minimal downtime and fast recovery.

Lip augmentation is an art as well as a science. It requires a precise understanding of anatomic relationships, ideal aesthetic ratios, and beautiful proportions.

When performing lip augmentation, one of the most important concerns is appropriately analyzing the lips, and carefully addressing their unique characteristics. These examples demonstrate a bit of my thought process when carrying out a natural looking lip filler procedure.

Facial balance with injectable fillers

Injectable fillers can subtly but definitively improve facial balance. Even though they only address one discreet part of the face, the millimeter changes that they make to certain anatomic areas can make the whole face appear more beautiful, as seen in three of my recent patients, pictured above.

Fillers are a powerful adjunct to-- and sometimes replacement for-- surgery. I love them because they are immediately apparent, and when done well, very natural and beautiful. If you are curious about fillers, I encourage you to make a consultation appointment with someone who does a lot of them and can appreciate their nuances.

Life-changing tummy tuck results

This beautiful patient's abdomen showed the signs of childbearing, surgery, weight fluctuations, and age that affect many of us-- loose skin, stubborn fat, undesirable scars, and stretch marks. In each of these views, the photo on the right was taken just 10 days after I performed her abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). She already looks amazing at this early stage. She will look even better as her swelling and scars mature over the course of a year.

Art in the operating room

Many of my patients know that I have a background as a painter, sculptor, and photographer. Not only do I try to create beauty for my patients, but I also am drawn to seeing the beauty in the world around me. Here are some images from my daily work as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, taken in the operating room.
